the reports all say armageddon

weather scares humans

shuts down the hurry about day and causes stops where we don’t allow ceasing

I let myself get caught up

do I fly do I reschedule do I stay safe will I get stuck

ah that breathe

the rain plinks the window panes

gentle voices pass in the hallway

the covers tuck around my toes just so

and comfort reigns

it will be just a day or two

delay in the long line of this moment

is still life living

everything else can wait

what does the world ask me to see here in this pause
